9/11 Memorial & Museum

The entire memorial and museum was extremely emotional. It was very surreal seeing the reflection pools and having a chance to read the names of those lost. I decided to go into my current industry because of the events on 9/11, so seeing the museum was very surreal for me and helped reinforce my desire for public service. I was very impressed with how well some of the equipment (damaged on 9/11) was maintained and preserved. Definitely plan a few hours to truly spend in the museum to make your time worth. And pack your patience. There were so many people everywhere!

This is an amazing, amazing memorial to a tragic day. It's very difficult not to be emotionally affected here. The reflecting pool memorials to the 'Twin Towers' is terribly emotional. However, the 9/11 Museum... I'm sure I would be hard-pressed to find someone not affected by the pictures, the videos, the stories, the voices. Truly a heart-wrenching tour. Beautiful buildings, great interiors, wonderful artifacts, a very thoughtful layout. I will be going back. And I cannot wait to do so!

This place is so beautiful! Such a great way to pay tribute to the Hero’s and all who made sacrifices on this day. Get your tickets in advance, the lines were extremely long. We went on a Saturday. Also, be aware that some exhibitions you will not be able to take pictures. Recommend you get the audio tour, it explains a lot of what happened in the events leading up to and some of the exhibition’s if you want to go in detail.
